Anyone got a Vldt mod for this board? Search has revealed nothing :(


Before u ask, I am using the Biostar K8NHA Pro BIOS in my shuttle so no Vldt setting in this BIOS. I need this mod to get my Vldt back up to a 'good' range for some fast HT speeds :)

It has more memory timing options so performance can be tweaked.

It gave me a 0.4 sec boost in Pifast and 0.496 sec boost in SuperPi at the same clock speed.

Cool, is there a guide somewhere for this?

Are you able to run Cas2 with 2x 512MB sticks even beyond 220Mhz? All other an50r boards are limited to Cas2.5 when going above ~220Mhz or so :(

there isnt a guide, simply flash using award flash

awdflash xyz.bin /f /cc

BUT NOTE that you will have to do a hot flash to get back to the Shuttle BIOS since the BIOSTAR BIOS implements a Write Protect feature and prevents further BIOS updates without setting the appropriate jumper (this jumper isnt present on the shuttle board :) )

dont know about 2x512MB but I can run up to 273 MHz using 2x256MB sticks using the most aggressive timings available.
